Did you hear the latest one   About the footprints on your back   About how they lied   About how they stole   To keep each other in the black       I really wonder when it all comes down   Who will be dancing at the finish line   Ten to one it'll be the ones without a spine   Once again the truth fades into extinction   Short and sweet, this might burn a little now   It burns a little now       I've stopped looking for the medicine   I've stopped thinking it won't happen again   It's one thing to accept it   Another thing to let it catch you from behind   To shake you down   To live with it   And not make a sound   I've stopped looking for the medicine       I'm so sick that we're surprised   Everytime we're shown that power corrupts   Thump our chests at the man on the screen   Cursing the green   Tell ourselves that enough is enough       Another day   Another dollar   Another way to live with a life so intolerable
